Ashton84 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Hi I'm just starting with L plecs and was just wondering what types are around which ones people are breeding? I currently have 2 L080 and 1 L002. These are just displays ATM but am interested in future breeding. Which have been the easiest for people to breed? ( don't mind getting a few more types if there are easier to breed than what have) thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashton84 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Ok cool. Ill look research them. Most likely go with 002 since I have one already. How long do they take to get to breeding age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashton84 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 18 months isn't too long. Don't know that the boss will let me get 20 to start with though haha. Ill just have to get 1 here and there when I can find them for sale. The 002 I have now is only about 4-5 cm so got a way to go yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tech Den Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 The easiest way to explain it, it's a bit like an investment of types. If you get 20 or so smaller ones and grow them up you will sell them for more than what you bought them for and depending how many you keep what you sell off later there is a good chance will cover the initial purchase cost. Mind you, you still have the costs of feeding them. You might not want to tell the Boss the last sentence...lol They are cool and enjoy them. There is a fair amount of them out there and some really nice ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
